It is springtime and our Box, along with many others is launching the next iteration of the 6-week Paleo Challenge. Most of us have that last few items we find hard to part with – for some it is a bread or dairy – for me it is coffee and sweeteners.
Technically I was not much of a sugar guy ever. Even in my hardcore vegetarian decade instead of sugar I just had the vegan alternative of bagels, muffins and pizza. Thin crust. And sweeteners. And every coffee type from Kona to Jamaican Blue Mountain.
In the Paleo transition in the last 2 years grain for me was easy to let go, so was dairy and legumes. Never missed those. So the last mile in the next challenge is caffeine, sweeteners and the last few processed foods like certain deli meats. Cannot be harder than the CF Open was, right?
Ever since CFDV introduced level tests (white, green, red) in the box it is much easier to determine the Rx weight for competitive athletes and scaling based on your tested level. A lot of us have been chasing Rx in every MetCon and did not always get the intensity we needed. This new system fixed that and the proper guidance for all athletes.
